Scheduling of dynamic streaming applications on hybrid embedded MPSoCs

The work on the dataflow scheduler has continued so as to improve it: it is now simper and more efficient. Moreover, an H.264 video decoder implementation from STMicroelectronics has been ported onto the developed execution model to conduct more significant experiments. This application exhibits a higher level of complexity and variability, which is the reason why it is well suited for assessing the scheduler's reactivity. Furthermore, an important groundwork has been carried out to enable software support for parts of the application, which enlarges considerably the design space and allow to benefit from better flexibility. In parallel, some earlier work on list scheduling under memory constraints has been extended and published in an international journal [11] .
